DCCEEW Briefing

National First Nations Heritage Legislation:
Briefing on Progress to Date by DCCEEW

AAA delegates are invited to attend a presentation by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (Heritage Policy Branch, Heritage Division) (the Department) regarding the cultural heritage legislative review.

The Government is working in partnership with the First Nations Heritage Protection Alliance (the Alliance), to co-design reforms aimed at strengthening protections of First Nations cultural heritage.

The Department, together with the Alliance, commenced targeted consultations in March 2024 to hear from jurisdictions and peak bodies about their concerns and priorities in relation to First Nations cultural heritage and to lay the groundwork for future consultations on the detail of the proposed reforms.

This presentation will provide updates on progress towards national heritage protection legislation and attendees will have the opportunity to share additional information, especially from practitioners and First Nations delegates with specific knowledge about Australia’s current heritage laws.

Limited places are available, so please sign up to attend.
